I have attempted to recreate my Grandma’s famous
potato side-dish, since I was unable to find a recipe in amongst all her
cookbooks. It is really simple, and a good alternative to roast potatoes.
Garlic Potatoes

Ingredients:
3 or 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled
300ml of vegetable stock
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 cloves of garlic, crushed and finely chopped
½ teaspoon rosemary or sage
Pepper to season
Method:
1. Preheat
the oven to gas mark 6/220°C.
2. Thinly
slice the potatoes so they are roughly half a centimetre thick, then lay them
out in a casserole/oven-proof dish. They should be slightly overlapping each
other.
3. Make
up the stock and pour it over the potatoes, making sure they are not swimming.
4. To
make the garlic butter, mix together the margarine, garlic and rosemary, then
drop several spoonfuls over the potatoes, so that it will cover them all when
it melts.
5. Season
with pepper to taste, then place high up in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until most
of the liquid is gone and the potatoes are starting to crisp on top.
Please let me know what you think.
Also, any feedback on the format or phrasing of the recipe would be
appreciated. Thanks, and enjoy!

Sounds awesome. I'll give it a go sometime. The husband loves garlic. Also, I love getting recipes from other young-marrieds as they serve two!
ReplyDeleteI'll try that one Nari, cheers. I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteCool let me know what you think. Yeah recipes for two are hard to find. The thing was, when I cooked this for four of us (my parents too), I had to really concentrate on how to make enough!
